Winter to Spring
Apr 3, 2009
In South Dakota the time between winter and spring can be long and, like this last week, ugly. Fr. Tony Grossenburg, a Catholic priest on the Standing Rock Reservation found beauty in this transition. You can see more of his work at www.flickr.com/photos/frtony/.

Fr. Tony lives in McLaughlin and is pastor for six parishes in the area including St. Bede, the oldest structure in Wakpala.
-
In Lakota, Wakpala means “Oak Creek.” The creek is swollen to such an extent that it has inundated the old town.
-
The Standing Rock Reservation is the perfect home for a photographer because of its open spaces and abundance of wildlife.
-
“Very poor area, but good people and good scenery” is how Fr. Tony explains his home. He started taking pictures just over a year ago as a hobby.
-
A flock of geese relaxing on the Grand River is a sure sign that spring is here.

Fr. Tony calls this photo “A bad place to park.”
